If I do the following I end up with every single DIV all the way up
the document chain being prepended with the content instead of its
immediate parent:
var msg_selector = $($(childObj).parent().get(0).tagName + ':has(#' +
childObj.id + ')')
$(msg_selector).prepend('<div id="result_message">Result Processed</
div>');What this is used for is that when a link is clicked it sends AJAX data. If the data was processed remotely it is supposed to show a simple success message at the top of the parent DIV it is located in. Any idea what I am doing wrong? On Feb 22, 6:32 am, "Richard D.
